Chemical Structure

Butyl Isobutyrate CAS 97-87-0 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Butyl Isobutyrate is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Butyl Isobutyrate (CAS 97-87-0), molecular formula C8H16O2 and molecular weight 144.21 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Butyl Isobutyrate (C8H16O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
